Winterbottom Form Guide
The Winterbottom Stakes form guide is all about following the strongest sprinters in the land.
It was previously just about following the local gallopers but now the best short-coursers from right around the country make the trip over, muddying the waters somewhat.
Unless there's a hot local prospect that looks impossible to beat it always pays to hold off on your future Winterbottom bets because sprinters from around Australia always leave it until late to accept a position in the field.
